johnlucas has this amazing way of slapping the fanboy inside of me and yelling "Why haven't you broken out yet!" While the adult in me says "I've eaten too much crow, I'm so sorry!"

I can't wait for the annual reports to come in. Then we can even analyze the financial victories or failures.

@soriku, my 5-7m figure is for Nov and Dec only.

You all seem to forget that Sony and MS are exhausting all of their cards right now. Price cuts, new SKUs, bundles, hyped releases, and they STILL can't beat Nintendo, who are basically sitting around with their hands cupped behind their heads and a smug smile on their lips.

Nintendo hasn't done anything. They could cut the Wii's price, or bundle it with Wii Fit or some other hot title in the near future, or create a new model with more internal memory, or any such thing, and they would surge ahead of the competition like a rocket. Not to mention that there hasn't been a single big release for the system in a long while. And Nintendo is still winning, despite their doing basically nothing.

What do you think that says about "Nintendomination," if not that it's here to stay?

if you want to call nintendominaton when wii and ds sell twice of his competition this end for now, if you want to call nintendominaton when ds and wii are number 1 handled and console, the nintendominaton still exist, is the point of view you want take.

Hasn't the 60GB model/bundle dropped to €500 too? This would be a €100 or 17% drop from €600. I'm not really to par with all PS3 SKUs and prices, sorry. But checking a few local online shops that seems to be the case. It's also being end-of-lifed (the 60GB), with the latent threat that it is the last model with PS2 compatibility ever to hit Europe, which may have prompted quite a few buys. If true, you can't attribute the 50k difference just to the new model.

 QFT,

Nintendo is not a stationary target.  If they actually somehow do start to fall behind they still have the ability to tap into all of the things that Sony and MS are currently exhausting in an attempt to keep up.

Long story short, Nintendo is sitting pretty.  The only thing that is going to stop Nintendomination is if they do something really stupid.

With that said, the rest of October is going to be a bit boring with the possible exception of Zak & Wiki.  But once SMG is released in Japan there will be an explosion there, and once it is released in the US there will be an explosion here, etc... Add to this mix the already increasing sales numbers from holiday sales trends, and an onslaught of new games etc...well I think it is a safe bet that Wii's will be sold out this Holiday.

Something you may have missed:

If everyone expects the Wii to sell out for the Holiday, why does it matter if its not selling out right now?  Those consoles will all be snatched up over the next 2.5 months and the effect is that any console arriving at retail this Quarter will be sold in this Quarter.
